pacman::p_load(olsrr, corrplot, ggpubr, sf, spdep, GWmodel, tmap, tidyverse, gtsummary)Geographically Weighted Regression Model
In this hands-on exercise, we learn to use GWR or geographically weighted regression. GWR is a technique that takes non-stationary variables and models their relationships to an outcome of interest. We use GWR to build hedonic pricing models for the resale prices of condominiums in Singapore. (from 2015)
This exercise is based on Chapter 13 of Dr Kam’s online book which can be accessed here.
Getting Started
Data Sources
To datasets will be used for this exercise:
2014 Master Plan subzone boundary in shapefile format
2015 condo resale prices in csv format
Installing and launching R packages
This exercise will make use of the following R packages:
olsrr - for building OLS (ordinary least squares) regression models and performing diagnostic tests
GWmodel - for calibrating geographically weighted family of models
tmap - for plotting cartographic quality maps
corrplot - for multivariate data visualization and analysis
sf - spatial data handling
tidyverse - attribute data handling
The code chunk below uses p_load() of pacman package to check if the packages are installed in the computer. It installs them first if they are not. It then loads them into R.
We also define a random seed value for repeatability where of any randomized results.
yet set.seed(1234)}
Data Import and Preparation
Geospatial data loading and preparation
The code chunk below uses st_read() of the sf package to load the geospatial data. (master plan boundaries) This data is in svy21 projected coordinate systems.
mpsz = st_read(dsn = "data/geospatial", layer = "MP14_SUBZONE_WEB_PL")Reading layer `MP14_SUBZONE_WEB_PL' from data source
`C:\drkrodriguez\ISSS626-GAA\Hands-on\Hands-On_Ex10\data\geospatial'
using driver `ESRI Shapefile'

Projected CRS: SVY21As the new object does not have EPSG information, we will use the following code with st_transform() to apply the correct code of 3414.
mpsz_svy21 <- st_transform(mpsz, 3414)
mpsz_svy21 <- st_make_valid(mpsz_svy21)We can use st_crs() to verify that the operation was successful.

To convert the condo_resale object into a spatial object, we can use the following code chunk that utilizes st_as_sf() from sf package. The final line of the code chunk converts the data frame from wgs84 to svy21 using the indicated crs values.
condo_resale.sf <- st_as_sf(condo_resale,
coords = c("LONGITUDE", "LATITUDE"),
crs=4326) %>%
st_transform(crs=3414)We can again use head() to inspect the first few elements of the new object.

EDA using statistical graphics
We can produce a histogram of the selling price by using the code chunk below.
ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x=`SELLING_PRICE`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue") +
ggtitle("Distribution of Resale Selling Price") +
labs(x = "Selling Price", y = "Records")
The figure shows a right-skewed distribution for price– that more units were sold at lower prices.
Skewed distributions are undesirable for modeling variables but can be solved through methods like log transformation. The code chunk below creates a new variable which is the log transformation of the original selling price variable. It utilizes the function log() to perform this.
condo_resale.sf <- condo_resale.sf %>%
mutate(`LOG_SELLING_PRICE` = log(SELLING_PRICE))We can now replot the transformed variable in a similar method using ggplot.
ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf, aes(x=`LOG_SELLING_PRICE`)) +
geom_histogram(bins=20, color="black", fill="light blue") +
ggtitle("Distribution of log of Resale Selling Price") +
labs(x = "log(Selling Price)", y = "Records")
The new variable has less skewness compared to the original one.
Multiple histogram plots of variables
We will use ggarrange() of the ggpubr package to produce small multiple histograms or trellis plots.
The code chunk below uses ggarrange() to produce 12 small histograms arranged in columns of 4 rows.

Drawing statistical point map
We can show the geospatial distribution of resale prices using the tmap package.
The code chunk below produces an interactive map (by toggling with tmap_mode("view")) of the selling price. The set.zoom.limits argument of tm_view() constrains the minimum and the maximum zoom levels. The code chunk ends by turning interactive mode off to ensure that there is no active connection.

In this section we will use lm() of base R to build hedonic pricing models.
Simple linear regression method
We build a simple linear regression model by using SELLING_PRICE as the dependent variable and then AREA_SQM as the independent variable.
condo.slr <- lm(formula=SELLING_PRICE ~ AREA_SQM, data = condo_resale.sf)Note that lm() returns an lm object (or c(mlm, lm) for multiple responses)
The summary and output can be obtained by using summary() and anova() functions.

Call:

F-statistic: 1182 on 1 and 1434 DF, p-value: < 2.2e-16The output includes the estimate of the best fit line based on the coefficients table displayed. In this case it is:
\[ SELLINGPRICE = -258181.1 + 1.4719 (AREA) \]
The R-squared value of 0.4518 states that the model is able to explain 45% of the values of the selling/resale price.
The p-value of less than 0.01 indicates that the regression model is a good estimator of the resale price.
To visualize the best fit line graphically, we can produce the scatterplot and then incorporate lm() function for the smoothed line in ggplot as below.
ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf,
aes(x=`AREA_SQM`, y=`SELLING_PRICE`)) +
geom_point() +
geom_smooth(method = lm) +
ggtitle("Fl0or area vs Resale Price") +
labs(x = "Floor Area", y = "Resale Price")`geom_smooth()` using formula = 'y ~ x'
Multiple linear regression method
Visualizing the relationship of the independent variables
Before building a multiple LM model, it is important to ensure that the independent variables used are not highly correlated with each other. A correlation matrix is commonly used to visually inspect the relationships between these variables.
The pairs() function of R as well as other packages can be used. For this section, we will use the corrplot package.
The code chunk below uses corrplot() from that package to show the correlation coefficient between every pair of independent variable.
corrplot(cor(condo_resale[, 5:23]), diag = FALSE, order = "AOE",
tl.pos = "td", tl.cex = 0.5, method = "number", type = "upper")
Matrix reorder, controlled by the order argument, is important to uncover hidden structures or patterns. There are four methods available: AOE, FPC, hclust and alphabet. AOE is used in the code above and uses the angular order of the eigenvectors method.
Inspecting the output above, it is clear that FREEHOLD is highly correlated with LEASE_99YEAR– so it is best to only include one of these. For our model, we will just keep the first variable.
Building a hedonic pricing model using multiple linear regression method
The code chunk below uses lm() to calbrate a multiple linear regression model. It also produces the summary of the model using summary()

The gtsummary package provides an alternative way to produce publication-grade summaries in R.
The code chunk below uses tbl_regression() to create a formatted regression report.

Checking for multicolllinearity
In the code chunk below, we use ols_vif_tol() of olsrr package to check for signs of multicollinearity.

Testing for non-linearity
When performing multiple linear regression, we need to check whether the assumptions of linearity and additivity are not violated.
For linearity, we use the ols_plot_resid_fit() of olsrr package in the code chunk below.
ols_plot_resid_fit(condo.mlr1)
As the residuals / points lie around the zero line, we have confidence that the linearity assumption is not violated.
Test for normality
The code chunk below uses ols_plot_resid_hist() of olsrr package to check for normality.
ols_plot_resid_hist(condo.mlr1)
The output reveals that the residuals follow a normal distribution.
The oslrr package can also perform regular statistical tests for normality and display in a tabular format using ols_test_normality()

-----------------------------------------------Testing for spatial autocorrelation
To test for spatial autocorrelation, we need to convert the resell prices sf data frame into a SpatialPointsDataFrame.
We first need to export the residuals of the regression model and save it as a dataframe.
mlr.output <- as.data.frame(condo.mlr1$residuals)We then include this as a new field in the condo_resale.sf object by using the code chunk below
condo_resale.res.sf <- cbind(condo_resale.sf,
condo.mlr1$residuals) %>%
rename(`MLR_RES` = `condo.mlr1.residuals`)We then use the code chunk below to convert the object into SpatialPointsDataFrame format to be able to use spdep package functions on it.
condo_resale.sp <- as_Spatial(condo_resale.res.sf)
